My husband and i recently tore the carpet from our stairs and painted the wood underneath creating a fresh clean and modern look.
Wood stairs to carpet transition.
So let s jump right in and get started.
Hey all we want to have a carpet stairs leading to a semi solid engineered plank wood landing.
The second phase of the staircase makeover had a ton more work.
This is our stairs before.
If you do not have a new tack strip you can use a track strip you removed after pulling up the carpet from your staircase.
Use a foam brush to apply the stain and wipe with a lint free cloth.
Do we have the wood floor on the very top stair on the landing which will be be higher than the rest of the stairs o.
Once it dries apply two coats of clear coat.
The result was a clean transition from wood to carpet.
Including sanding the stairs filling the gazillion holes from the carpet tacks and staples and staining the treads.
Follow the instructions on dry time.
The carpet was old and dirty giving the entry a very dark and dated feel.
The tacks should be facing toward the back of the landing tread.
Stain and clear coat your stairs to give them long lasting appeal.
It seems the norm is wood to carpet.
Our main goal was to rip off the carpet see what wood was underneath and.
What is the best way to achieve the transition.
We did this project over a full weekend and two additional weeks nights following.
